Cinderella - Long Cold Winter (1988)

Not exactly brain-shatteringly unique, Cinderella, are rather straight forward bluesy/sleaze metal, grainy vocals courtesy of Tommy Keifer, and a country twang that attempts to bring to mind some of England's finest ballsiest '60s and '70s sleaze acts, i.e. Stones, Faces.
'Gypsy Road' was the main hit here, a boogie train down the beaten track, giving the listener an overwhelming feeling of deja-vu, but then again, alot of the '80s hair bands offered similar unoriginal swayings, but Cinderella, although at times annoying, did offer some glimpses on here of some half-decent records, 'Falling Apart At The Seams' and, 'The Last Mile', but this is more false rock 'n' roll rather than genuine balls to the wall brawn.
